       | discovering them months later is the big issue at hand. If you're
       | a journalist or dissident then you or your benefactors should be
       | able to purchase a mobile endpoint security monitoring service
       | that will actively monitor for exploitation and prevent known
       | threats based on good intel. Crowdstrike is the only company that
       | comes close to supporting this.
